While on the subject Of stray Indians
we might call the attention Of the proper
authorities to the Cree refugees, who cost
heterritory of Montana cash donation
of$j00 at the last legislative session to
save them from starvation. From the ev-
idence of citizens of this county who have
been thrown in contact with them, and
from the statement of Sergeant Rousch,
of Fort Shaw, who was lately detailed to
issue them government rations they are a
strictly tough set-the most outrageous
and unprincipled lot OF Indian vagabonds
that were ever allowed to roam at will In
any country. Now, if these Crees are the
proteges of the Canadian government, our
government could not do more satisfac-
ry act than to send them home-they have
been a trouble and tax long enough. If
they are lot of renegades who took part
in the Riel rebellion and come claiming
protection under our laws, it would be an
act of charity to palce them upon reser-
yation and subject them to the same er-
strictions that are placed upon other In
dams.

The powers that be, both civil and milf

with this matter of raids in northern Mon
tana by Indians from the British posses
sions. The only new phase of the time

gressive this spring and besides the custO-
mary horse stealing have foully murdered
acitizen of this county. That Caldwell
